I'm using the following code to create two custom post types:

Pastebin Link

The Spotlight custom post type is giving me the edit/permalink to edit the post. However, the cooking video isn't. I've just copied the code from the Spotlights, changed the pertinent info for Cooking Videos so I don't get why it isn't working.

  • Where are you looking for the edit link - admin area or frontend?

  • The dashboard admin area.

  • I just put your code into my functions.php, and I get everything as expected - the permalink shows up as soon as a draft is saved, I can edit, etc. I ran into an issue like this, and tracked it down to Advanced Access Manager, so maybe turn off all your plugins and test from there?

  • Thanks! I thought it was working previously and it didn't make sense that one was working and the other wasn't. On edit: I just tried turning off all plugins and that didn't make the permalink links appear.

    I found the problem with the help of one of our IT guys. It just so happens WP didn't like how I registered my post type (naming convention). I was using cookingVideo but once it was changed to all lower case in the function.php file and the DB, everything worked fine. Thanks for the help SickHippie!

As I told SickHippie in the comment, this was a matter of the naming convention while registering the custom post type in the functions.php file. I used camel-case and the DB didn't like that. Once it was changed to all lower-case, it worked fine.

You've given both the same menu position, so you'll need to change one to something else.

 'menu_position' => 20,

  • Not so - in this instance, 'menu_position' => 20, simply means "Below Pages".

Try this in the same array where you set public and menu position.

'show_in_menu' => true,
